Installation Overview
Installing 003 or 003 Rack on a Mac includes the
following steps:
1 “Mac System Optimization” on page 17.
2 “Installing Pro Tools LE” on page 19.
3 “Connecting 003 or 003 Rack to the Com-
puter” on page 21.
4 Launching Pro Tools LE. (See Chapter 5,
“Launching and Configuring Pro Tools LE.”)
5 Making audio and MIDI connections to 003 or
003 Rack. (See Chapter 9, “Making Studio Con-
nections.”)
Mac System Optimization
To ensure optimum performance with
Pro Tools LE, configure your computer before
installing Pro Tools software.
Before configuring your computer, make sure
you are logged in as an Administrator for the ac-
count where you want to install Pro Tools. For
details on Administrator privileges in Mac OS X,
see your Apple OS X documentation.
Before installing this version of Pro Tools,
see the Read Me information included on
the Pro Tools Installer disc.
When connecting 003 or 003 Rack to your
computer the first time, your computer
should be off. If your computer is on, power
it down.
Do not use the Mac OS X automatic
Software Update feature, as it may upgrade
your system to a version of Mac OS that has
not yet been qualified for Pro Tools. For
details on qualified versions of Mac OS, see
the latest compatibility information on the
Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
